| I was always told stand for something or fall for anything
|
| So I stand for what I believe in
|
| Because if I don’t, then I will feel like a coward at the end of the day
|
| Um, I feel there’s a point you, as a man as a woman as a human being
|
| If you believe in something you gotta say what you believe in
|
| If you’re passionate about it you' should always stand up for it
|
| And that’s what life’s about
|
| Standing up for what you believe in
|
| That’s why I push juice, I push health, I push peace
|
| Even tough I’m a gangster rapper cuz thats what I believe in
|
| And that’s what I stand for
|
| And whoever don’t fuck with that I just fuck 'em cuz that’s how I live
|
| Stand for what you believe up
|
| Stand for what you believe in my nigga
|
| Death to whoever don’t want us grieving my nigga
|
| Two wrongs don’t make a right but it make a season my nigga
|
| So even if they kill me my message is reaching my niggas
|
| They’ve been this way since America’s first independence day
|
| They’ve been trying to kill us
|
| I’m just writing like Hemingway
|
| Lines that get flagged by the NSA
|
| Not to mention racial tension is thicker
|
| Than mixing Tokyo fisting with Janice Shay
|
| Ignore that divine copy format
|
| Imagine a life form that’s treated worse than a doormat
|
| Lower class whites who think you better than poor blacks
|
| Rich whites calling you trailer trash, thats more fat
|
| You mad good, I ain’t here to comfort niggas
|
| I’m here to expose a system designed to come for niggas
|
| I hope you’re pissed, raise you arm, close your fist
|
| 'Till we all can coexist without the fucking bumper stickers
|
| Open up your eyes, see what I see
|
| How could you be blind to our needs?
|
| And it’s all be designed just to push you aside
|
| If you allow where he keeps struggling for the simple things
|
| If that ain’t enough then what will it take to stand up, up?
|
| Black girl get kidnapped without no amber alert
|
| Nobody gives a damn they’re rescuing animal first
|
| Since she landed on this scandalous path of dirt
|
| A pervert named Uncle Sam been jamming his damn hand up her skirt
|
| I stand up cuz I’m a guardian protection
|
| Even against you bitch niggas on Twitter
|
| Shitting on her for her darker complexion
|
| And these R n B artists who boycotting chocolate models
|
| It’s hard to respect them lets start to correct them
|
| Crooked too real, they hate it when I come around
|
| Crooked too ill, cut 'em a check make 'em dumb it down
|
| If he don’t dumb it down block him and keep him underground
|
| My message is the exorcist’s devil’s heads gets spun a round
|
| Political prisoner’s sentenced for life
|
| Because they got influence to make niggas unite
|
| I think about Pac in a penitentiory reading Madonna’s letters
|
| While you so called real niggas never sent him a kite
|
| We gotta do better not in the future this shit can happen now
|
| I’m talking real peace treaties between the black and brown
|
| I’m talking trading 'em hand cuffs for the cap and gown
|
| I’m talking standing the fuck up instead of backing down
|
| Ladies and Gentlemen
|
| We are gathered here tonight with every pillar under the sun
|
| United as one
|
| But I wanna know one thing
|
| How come we can’t stay united
|
| When the music stops
|
| Open up your eyes, see what I see
|
| How could you be blind to our needs?
|
| And it’s all be designed just to push you aside
|
| If you allow where he keeps struggling for the simple things
|
| If that ain’t enough then what will it take to stand up, up? |
